An Introduction to the “Mi Sheberach” Prayer

This introductory article from Chabad.org explains the Mi Sheberach prayer recited during the Torah reading and provides the Hebrew and English texts for the prayers recited during the week and on Shabbat for those who are called up to the Torah for an aliyah, for sick people in need of healing, and for mothers who have just given birth. As noted in the article, this is not an officially mandated prayer, so there are many different versions recited in different communities, such as the prayers for the State of Israel and the protection of IDF soldiers, often recited in Zionist congregations.
